Rhythmic hand gestures guide the segmentation of speech downstream

2026-04-21

Abstract excerpt

<p>Human spoken communication does not only involve auditory words, but also visual signals like hand gestures, head nods, and facial expressions. These visual signals generally demonstrate close temporal synchrony to spoken prosody. However, the functional role of carefully timed co-speech movements for speech perception remains unclear. This study tested whether series of simple up-and-down hand gestures convey...
